About the Company

Prime Healthcare

Acquires and reorganizes underperforming hospitals

The company aims to raise clinical quality and patient safety while expanding access in hundreds of communities, though it has faced legal and regulatory scrutiny over billing practices and service-line decisions. Its goal is to stabilize and improve the financial and clinical performance of underperforming hospitals so they can continue serving their communities.
